I took this picture of Mikey a few years ago, and got to meet him briefly afterwards. An amazing performer & producer and a brilliant broadcaster, Mikeys influence stems way beyond reggae into many other forms of music.

He’ll be missed.

The good people over at Roots Archives have opened the voting for posted their annual awards results

 and the best dub album….

One of our guilty pleasures here at dub.com is checking out what rare dub lps sell for on ebay.

Granted some of these are truly rare items, but is it just us or has the price of dub vinyl gotten a little extreme lately? Though some of these you’d just have to have right?

echo_tm - treepee
brilliantes del vuelo - i know (now available directly from snocap) - album available on itunes
high tone - wobble / do not panic
Modeselektor- happy birthday
Jah shaka - rise and shine
dub trees - a way of being free
high tone - driving fast
dub trees - return of the native
matty g - one step forward

KoCha from Almighty-Dub writes us to tell us about a new Open Source Dub project

http://www.reggae-dub.com/open

This project is the ‘Open Dub Foundation’ a place to enable dubmaster to remix each other

One of our favorite not-strictly dub websites to listen to is the hype machine, a very clever website that looks at other music blogs and links all the mp3s together. Its worth checking out even if the music you think you might find there isn’t your thing, because you might find other sites and blogs worth reading, like the excellent Burning Dervish blog, and their recent post on Jah Lloyd’s Final Judgement LP

The Hype Machine search for “dub”

And Burning Dervish comments led us to: http://www.dubandreggae.com/ which looks like its well on its way to becoming a great community site for dub and reggae fans.

The wikipedia entry on dub needs some citations in order to adhere to their standards.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dub_music

If you have the time and energy please help to edit this entry and make it as worthy as your love of this music is.

It would suck to have wikipedia listing dub as about car wheels and not music.

We’re back. How was your summer?

Ahhh google.

This is to inform that the trailer for the documentary “Dub Echoes” is on line! (and is looking really good!-dub.com)

It’s taking longer than expected to finish the movie (being independent and with no budget makes it harder…), but little by little is coming together.

For now, you can watch the trailer here:

Dub Echoes” is a documentary that shows how the jamaican dub influenced the birth much of what we hear today, from electronic music to hip hop.

Key names, both from reggae and the electronic music world, were interviewed and talked about the importance of dub.

Get ready for a trip that will take your mind beyond you’ve ever imagined. Just follow the bass lines!
